The Other One

It's easier if I just blame you
When I'm in pieces on the floor
It's easier for me to doubt you
When I'm the one walking out the door
It's easier to say you're wrong when
I doubt my version of the truth
It's easier to say you're older
When I feel I've lost my youth
I hid my past behind your eyes
I find it when you look at me
My pain, my joy, my memories
I've given you my story
I wrote it down, a masterpiece
You signed it with your name
You did the same to me
Together we could win this game
Together we could live
It's harder to say that I'm scared
Than it is to comfort you
It's harder to ask for what I need
Than to give you what I'm due
It's harder to say I like myself
Than I'm in love with you
It's harder to give my heart away
Than just cutting it in two
I hid my past behind your eyes
I find it when you look at me
My pain, my joy, my memories
I've given you my story
I wrote it down, a masterpiece
You signed your name
You did the same to me
Together we could win this game
Together we could live
We act like we're so different
But our opposites attract
I look at you and always
See my own eyes staring back
Remember when I needed my space
And you were feeling all alone
I told you I was suffocating
While just begging for your hold
